California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.

The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.

“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.

Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.

How do you have experience with both men and women's restrooms?

Edit: ow the downvotes

Not OP but the one who cleans sees all.

Idk about them, but my transition experience was the opposite. Neither is free of animals who were never taught how to operate their bodies in a public space, but my men's room experiences were gross way more often than my women's room experiences are. And now that I share a single toilet bathroom with men at work again, piss in weird places all the time. I understand that there are some places where the women's room is routinely worse, but the average has been the opposite in my experience.

I used to work in a restaurant so I've had to clean both.

Women are utterly disgusting. Men sometimes pee on the seats but women shit on the walls.

I was stunned the first time. After having it happen once a week or so, you really start to wonder WTF is wrong with women

Online discussions I've seen on this subject make it sound like it's very location specific when one is routinely worse than the other. I switched public restrooms when I transitioned ~4.5 years ago. My experience has been that both peak at the same level of gross, but men's restrooms were gross more often. A busy enough restroom will inevitably have a user who doesn't know how to manage their body in public, but men's restrooms always seemed just a little more casually dirty. So maybe you should have been wondering who the fuck among your coworkers kept blowing up the women's room x_x Because it's not a gender thing. You just had a serial wall shitter who happened to be a woman.

It's customers, not coworkers

[–] LegionEris@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Wherever, whoever, what matters is that you most likely had a serial wall shitter.

Maybe woman bring toddlers to the bathroom more often?
